I was trying to think of an idiom for this situation, I found some, they where referring to people who not only are beautiful but also have good manners, so I thought this car engine is no exception, it has both the beauty of skin, and some good manners (in this case its power) so I believe if you are looking for an idiom this could be a good choice, unless you want to use some normal language to convey the sense.
